Finnish start up gives MeeGo new lease of life

MeeGo may have been dealt a bad batch of cards, but it seems the technology could be given a new lease of life.

Former Nokia employees including directors from Nokia’s MeeGo N9 project want to give the technology another chance, and have decided to use it in a new smartphone later on this year.

The startup known as Jolla Mobile said in a statement on its LinkedIn page that it would focus on designing, developing and selling new MeeGo-based smartphones and was working with international private investors and partners to make this a success.
